Problems filling from a database

Perhaps this has been answered here already, and I apologise if it has (I really can't stand the search functions on sourceforge forums, it never seems to find what I want)

Anyway, heres the problem:

When data is pulled from the database, if fckeditor created markup (such as tables) is present, the page loads, but the textfield just doesnt show up.

If the data contains no fckeditor created markup - OR even contains tags entered in by hand - it loads fine.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

I hope I've been clear enough - communication isnt a strong suit of mine.

You'll need to study the html that it is generated by your pages and see what's the difference between the two tests.

it could be a conflict with ' and " characters.

well, when i put in tags on my own it (obviously) converts them to text, which the editor has no problem with.

the markup created by fckeditor looks to me like regular html ... the texteditor just wont load it (in fact, the editor doesnt show up at all)

RE: Problems filling from a database

Do your pages work if you put a textarea instead of the FCKeditor?
if your output is encoded incorrectly then that can be the source of your problems.
Do you have any javascript error?
As bender-b has pointed out you need to be careful about how and where you put the HTML for the editor. If the html is invalid or gives you errors then you must fix that.
